Es war einmal in Europa Was geschah 1992 im deutsch-polnischen Grenzgebiet? Sicher ist: Es gab zwei Tote. Und es hat gebrannt. Der Rest ist gnädig überdeckt von zwanzig Jahren Alltag im wachsenden Europa - Demokratie und Wohlstand für alle. 2012, Wahlsommer in der Gemeinde Kollwitz. Was der Landkreis braucht, ist Stabilität und friedlicher Wettbewerb. Was er ganz bestimmt nicht braucht, ist eine gefährliche Fremde, die die Volksseele zum Kochen bringt. Mattie Junghans, die Frau ohne festen Lebensentwurf, mischt sich oft in fremde Angelegenheiten. Doch die Spur, der sie diesmal kreuz und quer durch Europa folgt, ist seit Jahren kalt...

It's difficult to find German-language books in the US that aren't titles some people collect (Winnie the Pooh, Harry Potter, etc.), so it pains me to give up on one that I carried home from Europe. But six or eight months into reading snatches of this, I must concede that it is langweilig. It appears to hew to the English-language model of literary fiction, where exciting things are allowed to happen in flashbacks but the present-day mostly contains people drinking tea and musing. It probably didn't help that its themes are similar to the Dutch novel I read most recently. I'm not saying I'll never finish this but I will stop pretending it will happen in the next week.

Gute Prosa. Überraschend vorhersehbar. Die Charaktere haben mich nicht überzeugen können aber das kann für jeden Leser anders sein.
